A Year with Frog and Toad Kids

Music by Robert Reale
Book and lyrics by Willie Reale
Based on the books by Arnold Lobel

Based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books, this whimsical musical follows two best friends – cheerful Frog and rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. These treasured characters hop from page to stage as they sing and dance their way through a year of adventure. Celebrate the differences that make us all unique and the importance of friendship with Frog, Toad, and their woodland friends in our fifth annual Youth Artist Project! The jazzy score bubbles with upbeat melody and charming wit, making it an altogether lovable musical for the whole family!
